Potential Impacts Of Temperature Projections On Selected Large Herbivores In Savanna Ecosystem Of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Due to global land surface warming, severe temperature events are expected to occur more frequently and more extremely causing changes in biodiversity and altering movement and survival of large herbivores. There are ...
Magnitudes Of Climate Variability And Changes Over The Arid And Semi-Arid Lands Of Kenya Between 1961 And 2013 Period
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
The magnitude and trend of temperature and rainfall extremes as indicators of climate variability and change were investigated in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) of Kenya using in-situ measurements and gridded climate ...
Understanding the Impacts of Climate Change in the Tana River Basin, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
In the Tana River Basin in Kenya, six Regional Circulation Models (RCMs) simulating two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) (i.e., 4.5 and 8.5) were used as input to the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model ...
Influence of annealing temperature on some optical and structural properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 deposited by CZT co-electrodeposition coupled with chemical bath technique
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) is currently most efficient thin film solar technology in use but it is faced with problems of material scarcity and toxicity. An alternative earth abundant and non-toxic materials ...
Occurrence and multivariate exploratory analysis of the natural radioactivity anomaly in the south coastal region of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Characterized by a variety of rock formations, namely alkaline, igneous and sedimentary that contain significant deposits of monazite and pyrochlore ores, the south coastal region of Kenya may be regarded as highly ...
Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy In Mn2VIn (001) Films: An Ab Initio Study
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
First principles study of the magnetic anisotropy of Mn2VIn (001) films show perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), which increases as a function of the thickness of the film. Density functional theory (DFT) as implemented ...
Adapting agriculture to climate change: suitability of banana crop production to future climate change over Uganda
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
The aim of this study was to determine suitability zones of future banana growth under a changing climate to guide the design of future adaptation options in the banana sub-sector of Uganda. The study used high resolution ...
Structural, Electronic And Magnetic Properties Of The Heusler Alloy Mn 2 VIn: A Combined DFT And Experimental Study
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the Heusler alloy Mn
2
VIn have been investigated using the density functional
theory and experimental techniques. Unlike many other Heusler ...
Climate change and pastoralists: perceptions and adaptation in montane Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Tropical montane forests are amongst the most threatened ecosystems by climate change. However, little is known about climatic changes already observed in these montane areas in Africa, or the adaptation strategies used ...
